BandWorks

Re: Need suggestions for getting 14-y-o son off computer
If your son plays guitar he might be interested in
BandWorks. It's a pretty cool thing. It's a good way to
socialize without having the pressure of talking! They place
kids with similar tastes in music, and similar skill levels
together and help them to play some songs and sometimes they
have a final performance at Ashkenaz. It's low-pressure and
very empowering. They have several different programs during
the summer, check out the website: www.bandworks.com. Good Luck

Re: Drum teacher for 13-year-old girl?
Hi Pam,
Jeremy Steinkoler is a great drum teacher for all levels.
And if he's not taking students right now, he can
recommend somebody who is. You can reach him by email:
jeremy at bandworks.com

Actually, you and your daughter may be interested in the
program he & Steve Gibson run, called ''BandWorks.'' The
classes are for both kids (8 on the young side) and
adults. They match students by age, ability & schedule
into bands that after about 8 weeks, perform @ Ashkenaz.
It's way fun. I've done it & now my son is doing it
(11y.o.)

They're also gonna be offering summer camp classes and I
think their next round of classes is going to start in
April. So, if you're interested in that kind of stuff,
you can check out their website: bandworks.com
